TO ALL WIIOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Bc it known that I, JOHN IEUTLS, of Evansville, in the county of Rock, and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and improved Attachment to Prevent Hogs from Booting; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art tomake and use the' same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

'.lhc present invention relates to an 'attaclnnentto the snout of hogs for the purpose of preventing them from rooting. In the accomnanyinfor plate of drawinggniy improved attachment is illustrated- Figure l being a view of the same as applied to the snoutr of a hog. and

Figure 2 a crossscction through the attachment.

Similar letters of roferenc'e indica-te corresponding` parts.

A, in thc drawings, represents my improved attachment, which consists of a roller, B, hung upon a centre spindle or shaft, C, that at each end projects therefrom, and is bent at right angles, with the points sharpened, `or sufficiently so, to enable them to be readily inserted in and passed through the upper lip to the snout of a hog, where, by hending'them over, the attachment is fastened. By the roller B the hog is prevented from root-ing, as such roller, when the hog attempts so to do, slides along;A and over the ground.

` C'lnz'm. I claim as newfand desire to secure by Letters Patent- The roller attachment A, `substantially as and for the purpose described.

` i JOHN BUTTS.
